How Fürth embraces cool ideas for hot cities
When summer nights become tropical and city centers heat up, the question of urban climate comes to the forefront. The lecture How to cool a city? at the vhs Fürth examines the heat island effect, urban greening, and climate-adapted architecture, showing how urban spaces can become noticeably more pleasant. Jonas Köhler, cultural geographer and climate protection officer of the city of Fürth, brings the local perspective from the urban climate analysis.

Why cities suffer particularly in summer
Sealed surfaces, dense construction, and little shade intensify the heat in the city. This is precisely where the event experience comes in: it combines vivid urban research with practical solutions. Those interested in sustainable urban development, climate adaptation, and modern urban planning will get concrete orientation instead of abstract buzzwords.

Fürth as an example of climate-adapted thinking
The lecture not only looks generally at urban heat stress but explicitly at exciting examples and approaches from Fürth. This makes the evening particularly tangible: urban greening, cooling strategies, and the role of planning and organization are directly linked to the local environment. Thus, a lecture with high relevance is created for all who want to experience their city more consciously and sustainably. ([vhs-fuerth.de](https://www.vhs-fuerth.de/p/477-CAT-KAT396))
